Shiver me timbers, mateys, it be Talk Like A Pirate Day!
Maria - Welcome! This is a hopping place to be!
Dana - .8 pound isn't bad at all - at least you're maintaining.
Janet - Wow! Your husband is very talented! What a gorgeous piece that is. That Shaker style really highlights the lovely wood grain. Think I could borrow him for a couple of weeks?
Heather - Your yoga teacher sounds fabulous. I went to a couple of classes here, but both teachers were young and skinny. Perfectly nice, but they weren't very good at giving direction into alternate poses for those of us who couldn't quite follow what they were doing.
Allie - Sounds like you enjoyed a nice moment on your patio. Try to think of the traffic noise as rushing surf!
Kelly - That holding pattern is a tough place to be. Wishing you and your husband strength as you wait for news.
Lanette - Is the Kaopectate your vet sells the same as the kind you can buy at the supermarket? They changed their formula a few years back to add salicylates when they used to be just kaolin, and I've never remembered to ask my vet if it was still safe to use.
Everyone be well. Yarrr!

Kelly ... so sorry ...

Janet: Wow. Love the piece your husband did. Very impressed.
It rained yesterday. Seriously. Poured. But it quickly passed after an hour and so now our huge piles of trash on the sides of the road are now soaked again.... the mold will continue to grow.
Need to roll out my calves and other muscles. They seem to be tightening up on me. Not enough stretching after I run. Bad habit to get into.

Yvonne - thank you for that info, I'll do some research. The all-knowing internet
says to use the human stuff, but the vet did mention yesterday the kao she sold was "especially for dogs" and maybe that's why.
That's another reason I love this group so much.... the breadth of experience in all sorts of subjects!

Hugs to each of you from rainy Oregon coast! Don't have anything to add, amazing right?

Hi all. After some welcome rain yesterday, it is back to being hot and humid today. I'm trying to get ahead at work since I am taking Thursday off for court. We ended up going out to dinner last night. We went Mexican, but I only ate half my meal and only 10 chips.
SueBDew: I'm so sorry for your loss!
Love the pics that everyone is posting. We had a huge influx of migrating painted lady butterflies...we had hundreds of them. I wanted to post some pics but can't figure it out! You walk into our yard up by the flowers and they just all take off in a huge swarm, like an orange cloud. Apparently pink and purple flowers are their favorites, and we have tons that color.
Well I am off again. Sorry to be so brief and not respond to all of you. Take care, meg from Omaha5 -
Kelly -- I'm so sorry about your mil. That is horrible.
Janet -- beautiful cabinet!
I'm at work again. I left my lunch on the floor in the kitchen. We were getting ready to head out the door and a paused to try to get the dog to go outside. (he wouldn't go. Hates the rain, I guess. So hubby will have to deal with him later.) Grabbed the little guy's breakfast, reminded him to grab his bag and his cello, grabbed my purse and my keys and left. I didn't realize until I was nearly at work where my lunch was. I hate that because I had my gf turkey noodle soup. I texted hubby to put it back in the refrigerator, but he's teaching online this morning, so I don't know if he'll see the message. He hasn't responded yet. Poor guy. His class started at 10 est, so he was on the computer and teaching at 7:00 a.m. My teenager was already out the door, but the little guy and I were tip-toeing around the house trying to get out the door quietly. I think the dog took advantage of the situation to pretend he didn't know what I wanted of him.
It looks like my oldest is going to come back and live with us for a while. He needs to get his school and employment act together. I haven't talked to hubby about it yet. He's not going to be thrilled, but it really is supposed to be temporary. He wants to get a TESOL certificate and move to Korea with his dad and teach English. I'm in favor of that. I just want to see him follow through and finish something.
Have to run. I have three meetings in a row beginning at 10:00 and the one at 11:00 is not going to be pleasant.

Heather--Good picture of you and your brother. Great smiles.
Well ladies enjoy the rest of your day and stay safe. Blessings, Vicki Grand Island, NE4 -
Hi,
to all those who are sad, grieving, and dealing with sickness of various kinds. My middle daughter has moved back home and is very depressed. She is coming with me to help choose the puppy. Lanette, I am just like you, I can't go and not come back with one, so I have to be very careful about what I go to look at in the first place, LOL. Make sure it ticks all the boxes. These pups are bulldog x. Here are the two we have to choose from:

Wendy - I am getting goosebumps!!!! They are both adorable! White one reminds a little of the dog on the Little Rascals (way before your time!). I think a new puppy will help lift your daughter's depression - I know having Rosie to cuddle with has really brought joy to our home and will keep my DH cheerful during the coming winter months.
I hope you hugged and smooched them both!

Ah, you haven't actually met them yet.... when are you going to go see them? Are they old enough to go to new homes?

Isn't it Pirate day or something????? You have to get the one with the patch over his eye!
JanetR, do you rent out your husband?????? He is seriously talented. Is that how you are leaving it or will he stain it. It is beautiful just like that. What will you be using all those drawers for?
Talked my sister today. She doesn't want visitors today so I will see her tomorrow. Her speech is still a little hesitant but not confused. Her son told me las night she fell in the shower, she did not. She fell close to the bathroom, legs just gave out under her. She felt bad Sunday. So today they did MRI! She couldn't remember what they did the ultrasound on and an echocardiogram. Am still worried about her. This happens to many times. Feel she is going to have to swallow her pride and get some sort of life alert. I like the one that has a GPS. I remember the time so vividly when she was so lost and called me to try to help her get home.
Michelle said I can go with her to the doctor Thursday so I think I will.

KJ - I am so sorry about your MIL. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers as you face the rough seas ahead.
Penny- Your friend has a courageous soul.
Wendy - Will it be one or two? They are both so cute.
Long day at work fielding calls from customers about what is going to happen for our store. One lady told me that I needed to do my job and email all to let them know what is going on. First of all, we just got the official word today. Second, we don't keep customer's emails at store level. Third, did telling me I was a f---ing b--ch and that you were never going shop at our store again help you out in any way?
Some of the many reasons I love retail.

Not funny! Stupid auto correct! I don't remember what I was trying to put there but funny wasn't it
I'm voting for "finally" read the posts.......
Peach, I'm shopping for new kitchen floors, too. I've decided against the wood look since my kitchen is going to be in between two floors that will be hardwood and I don't want hardwood in the kitchen. . I am going with sheet vinyl or vinyl tile, I think. I prefer the sheet, but may have to go with the tile to get the look I'm going for. I dread it, but will love it when it's done.
Struggling today. I won't bore you all with the whys. They don't compare to what most of you are going through. If anybody wants to tell me to suck it up, buttercup, I probably need to hear it.

Joyce My in-laws and husband and I all chipped in for Apple Watch for MiL. She promised to wear it whenever she is not in bed - and she can call my husband or 911 just by saying "Hey Siri, call 911" and we can find her using the gps tracking. It has made us all feel more secure and she loves it, she doesn't think of it as a security device, but as her Dick Tracy watch. Of course we could not have done that if she didn't already have an iPhone- but I'm not sure an iPhone will be necessary for version 3 Apple Watch about to be released.
One other security precaution we have in place - we have a family text group. MiL texts a hello to that group every day before noon. The texts have become so much more than just a daily check-in, but they serve that purpose primarily. It really makes us feel better about her living on her own.

Dr. katiebug ok buttercup, put on the big girl pants, suck it up, just do it.
Too lazy or tired to work out today, so I just hit the couch afterwork, yikes am I tired and it's only a 3 day work week! So I will crank out another day of work tomorrow and then make myself sleep in every day for the 4 day weekend and decompress and try to restore my energy.

Well, Talk Like A Pirate Day is almost over, so I’m back to standard English.
Lanette – If the human version of kaopectate turns out not to be safe, any place that has horse stuff will a pure kaolin formula for horses. The only problem is finding it in dog-appropriate sizes. (I ended up with a gallon of the stuff, but with all the fosters I go through it at a fair pace.)
Wendy – The puppies are so cute, how can you choose?! They’d make good playmates for each other…
Rye – Checking in to the family text group is a fantastic idea.
Hummingbird migration has started, and I saw the first rufous hummingbird at my feeders yesterday. Of course, we’ve still got the black chins and ruby throats that are here all summer. What with things on the Texas coast in a big mess, it’s really important to make sure they get a good chance to fill up before heading any further south.

Yvonne - thank you for the info!
I'll stop at the Farm Store next time I'm in town - they have a large pet supply area. I think Drs. Foster & Smith carry something too, in smaller bottles. Sometimes they have a free shipping day.
Sophie seems to upchuck about once a month and have a sour tummy - can kaopectate be used for that? I'd always put a little baking soda on my finger and stick it in her mouth - Vet said that's not good, upsets their potassium (or some other mineral).
